You know, I've never watched this movie. I kinda got over my "Jet Li / Jackie Chan" phase by the time this movie came out.
After watching the video, I want to watch martial arts movies again. I'm gonna hit Blockbuster tonight.

Some very cool choreography in that one but the thing that keeps me from enjoying a lot of martial arts movies like this is...(in the words of Lewis Black)'I have thoughts...'. I don't really mind the 'One bad guy at a time' rule of MA movies so much as the idea that all of these well-dressed criminals coming in waves to kill this one guy and NONE of them have a fucking GUN?!
Also, I swear that bald white guy had his arm snapped in half early on but then re-appeared a few minutes later to get something else broken.

But the fun part is seeing how they break the guy off when they do fight, and man does Tony Jaa "break them off." He's got some slick moves on him. I've never seen some of the stuff he's done. Like when he just fell on the guy's foot with his knee and pushed him over to break his ankle, or catching the guy with the back of his leg around his neck and breaking it. He's catching people with some crazy moves. Sweet stuff. You know, you never really see the second bald guy's face, so you can't see if he had a goatee or not, so I'll assume it's another white bald guy.  |
